Terms of Clearance: This ICR for the Accidental Release Information Program is approved for two years as requested. If EPA intends to continue this collection after promulgation of the final Risk Management Programs rule under 112(r) of the CAAA, it needs to demonstrate to OMB's satisfaction that the information has practical utility and is not duplicative of any other Federal data collection in- cluding EPA's enforcement plan for the 112(r) rule and the Emerg- ency Response Notification System (ERNS). EPA shall seek public comment from respondents and other interested parties on the merits of retaining ARIP. EPA should show exactly how the re- ports are used and why information about the accident causes and existing prevention programs is needed in light of the final RMP rule. In particular, are there patterns of accidents that EPA and industry did not anticipate or plan for? To what extent are reported accidents the result of probablistic events? Finally, EPA shall reestimate the burden to include the cost burdens as- sociated with this collection and a realistic estimate of fre- quency of use.
